title: Stress as perceived by professionals.
abstract: This study investigated differences in stress by sex, levels, age, and job classifications as perceived by 173 professionals. Subjects responded to the Tennessee Stress Scale-L questionnaire which provides measures for the three subscales (Stress Producers, Coping Mechanisms, and Stress Symptoms) and Total Stress. Significant differences were found between sexes and among stress levels, age groups, and job classifications on various subscales and total stress measures.
